They started realizing they were touching people's hearts when they started getting emails like this one, "Seeds of Happiness were passed out at my grandfather's funeral yesterday and we all found a smile on our face and sincere appreciation. Thank you."

"They've helped people through hard times and it's just the smallest little act of kindness, " Borella says.

In fact, it was just a small act of kindness that started the whole idea.

28:42--"It gives me goose bumps still, "says Paula Ivanowski.

Ivanowski is Mark's long-time friend.

When her son Dawson was dying of cancer, Mark didn't know what to say, so he gave Paula and her husband some little clay smiles.

"The fact that he thought that much of us to bring these little smiles, " she says, "to literally try to put a smile on my face through the hard times we were going through was just amazing."

In a way, Dawson's seeds are planted in all the happiness the company sends out.

The company's latest project is sending 1,000 specially packaged seeds to Moore, Oklahoma to try and bring a little sunshine to the victims of the recent tornado.

"Powerful things come in small packages, "adds Borella.

Since everyone smiles in the same language, this small Missouri company hopes to one day do business all over the world. An idea planted in Kirkwood and now spreading from ear to ear.
